Taking in own drinks to game.

This is one of the things that bugs me.

I know there can't be one rule for one and one for another, but you would think that mum & dad with 11 year old Alfie and 8 year old Sarah would be given some leeway when searching bags.

Kids will want a drink and a snack, and to be quite frank I know my kids aren't bothered about the snacks on offer.

 

Then their is 84 year old Alfred, grandad to said Alfie who has always taken a sandwich and a drink because that's what he has done since he was younger then his grandkid.   

 

Sadly, both 11 year old Grandson and 84 year old Grandad have both had drinks taken off them.

 

It's not SWFC's fault, it's the idiots who only want to go to a game tanked up.   

 

I think there should be a rule where you cannot be intoxicated inside a football stadium to be honest - and I will hold my hands up, once or twice I have been, but never got into trouble and it doesn't happen now because I'm not being that kind of role model for my kids.  

 

 

Alfie and Sarah could be international drug smugglers though, their “parents” could be the decoy and Alfred could be a mafia Don.

 

 

Can’t be too sure these days.

Regarding the high temperatures........

 

Does anyone know if we can take our own drinks in tonight (and more so on Saturday), or will entry be refused with soft drink bottles - even plastic.?

I've never been stopped from taking in any drinks/sweets, even flask at one point. There was a couple of seasons where they asked you to take bottle lids off and bin them before coming into the ground (that's when you cleverly hide them)  but that seemed to stop as of covid restart. 

 

Wouldn't have thought you'd have a problem mate.

Sorry I should say cans have never been allowed!!!

Some bizarre rules and lack of consistency at all events.  At Tramlines this year my Wife too in a bottle of Water full of Gin on the Friday but Saturday got stopped and had a Bottle of 7 Up confiscated as could only take water in.

I always take a drink with me,  and put a spare cap in my pocket 

 

When we played Rotherham last season we took sandwiches, sausage rolls,  and the person had a quick look in the bag and just put tape on the back to show it been checked.

They’ll do what they did last match of the season against Portsmouth. Refuse me entry with two bottles of water for my kids, then sell out of water before the match starts.

 

My kids will only drink water.

 

So they just had to dehydrate or drink the tap water that’s not drinking water - in the name of health and safety.

I always take a bottle of pop in, but occasionally they spot it and remove the lid! But I always keep a spare lid in my pocket, so as soon as I am through the turnstile I put it back on. 

 

To be fair they don't check your pockets, so put bottle in your back pocket. I used to sneak hip flask in, but now I just ensure I have had enough pints before entering.
